The enormous challenger in this Heisei Era film has to be seen to be believed! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence have arrived at one of the wildest entries in the series, as they discuss 1989’s Godzilla vs. Biollante, directed by Kazuki Ōmori. Hear (or now, for the first time, watch) them go over the film after having seen it with a packed crowd back in November 2025, during a Godzilla marathon at Braindead Studios. The duo delves into the incredible design of Biollante, the film's wacky plot and tone, and how the action and human drama play out in relation to the era. Enjoy!

It’s time for season 2 and the start of the Heisei Era! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence launch into a whole new time period for this award-winning podcast to discuss 1984’s The Return of Godzilla, from director Kôji Hashimoto. Hear them go over the film after just watching it on Godzilla Day at the Los Angeles Alamo Drafthouse in DTLA back in November, 2025. The guys dig into what’s new in this era thus far, the film's look and feel, the standard Godzilla tropes, and more. Enjoy!

We have another bonus to hold you over while we let Godzilla rest! As we gear up for season two of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, some may wonder how the guys feel about the other major Kaiju creation of the Showa era. Well, Terence and Aaron Neuwirth decided to start a mini-project between seasons where we cover the protector of children himself, Gamera. So here we are with an episode covering 1965’s Gamera, the Giant Monster, from director Noriaki Yuasa. Enjoy!

It’s bonus time again, and we have a really good one for you! We may be in between seasons of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, but back in September, Terence and Aaron were honored to have their own panel at L.A. Comic Con (hopefully the first of many), and the audio is now here for all to listen to. Recorded in a packed room of Godzilla fans, listen in to enjoy the duo cover the podcast, various Godzilla-related opinions, and more, including a fun game for the audience. Enjoy!

We’ve reached the end of an era! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Terence and Aaron bring season one of this award-winning podcast to a close by providing a wrap-up of the Showa Era. Hear them discuss the era as a whole, rank the films they watched, cover their favorite fights, villains, and moments, and go over some listener questions and feedback. There’s also a discussion of what they expect to get out of the upcoming second season - The Heisei Era, along with other plans for the show. Enjoy!

It’s time for one final funky battle! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron and Terence look at 1975’s Terror of Mechagodzilla, directed by Ishiro Honda. This is the final entry in the Showa Era, as the next appearance would not occur until nearly a decade later, during the Heisei Era. Listen to what the guys thought of this movie, how Honda’s involvement makes a difference compared to the recent Fukuda entries, and fun thoughts regarding the human story and the very noisy Titanosaurus. Enjoy! (P.S., be sure to stick around to hear more regarding our Astras Podcast Award win.)

Huge news dropped on Godzilla Day, and the guys had to put together another emergency bonus episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla to discuss it. Terence Johnson and Aaron Neuwirth go over their thoughts and excitement over the official title of Toho’s next highly anticipated sequel to Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla Minus Zero. Enjoy some early guesses and speculation as to what this sequel may be about, what the logo means, and what to expect from returning director/writer/vfx supervisor Takashi Yamazaki. Plus, there are additional thoughts on Godzilla Day, specifically Alamo Drafthouse’s collaboration for this year. Enjoy!

It’s time for a mechanical takedown! On this week’s episode of 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Aaron Neuwirth and Terence Johnson look at 1974’s blend of myth and cosmic destruction in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, from director Jun Fukuda. Ambition was key with this entry, as Toho would introduce one of Godzilla’s most popular adversaries, Mechagodzilla, along with a fun mythical lion-like kaiju, King Caesar, awakened by a highly debated song. Listen to what the guys thought of this film, which they actually watched months ago with an audience at The Frida Cinema, then recorded immediately afterward in their car. Enjoy!
